Dude, not again! (1 Viewer)

[Currahee Chris]

So I come home last night after Kung Fu class. I go out and check the mail. There is a letter from Osnabruck Germany. I open it up and there is like 3 pages to this thing all in German. I am reading it thinking it is a bill from the hotel we stayed at for some tack on charge at the end. My wife suddenly bursts out laughing. She shows me one of the pages has a picture of me behind the wheel of the Land Rover we rented over there.....................

it's a @#$%!#$%!#$%!$% SPEEDING TICKET!!! {sm3}{sm3}:redface2:

As in like I got a speeding ticket in the land where speeding limits are non-existent.

This now represents my second consecutive foray overseas where I have had a direct run-in with the law!!! {sm2}{sm4}

And I wonder why I was "randomly selected" for a security screening coming home in Iceland.

Gee, it is kinda' exciting to have an "International Crime Lord" on the forum. {sm4}

What's next?
Maybe stepping off the walk in England where there is a sign saying ... "Keep of the Grass"? ^&grin
" To the Tower of London with you. "

Out of curiosity, how fast were you moving??????

I know right? I said the samething to my wife and kids last night {sm4}

probably 15km over the limit- it was in town. I really wasn't reckless or anything, just snagged me in the right spot. I remember when it took my picture things went bright for a split second- like my eyes got tasered or something!! {sm3}

And ironically, my last trip before Germany was England I got ripped up one side and down the other by the guys in the conductor booth for jumping off the platform onto the tracks- obviously no trains were coming and it was quick to get something my wife dropped- and in my defense- I tried to reach down with a broom before I dropped down! {sm4}{sm4}

But yeah, they don't play in England when you go somewhere you aint supposed to be

How much is the ticket?

 

[mikemiller1955]

so Chris...

what are they gonna do...

extradite you and bring you before the BVerfG if you don't pay it?

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it...

but this is why I'm always a little cautious whenever I go to Chicago...

my unpaid speeding ticket when I was 25...some 37 years ago...

may not have exceeded their statue of limitations yet...^&grin

 

[DMNamiot]

Wow dude you are a serious criminal

Did they send you the photo? By law they have to do send them a note asking for the photo if you want to really agrivate them

Also how much was it? 100 euros?

[Currahee Chris]

25 Euros {sm4} I am going to pay it- I just have this feeling that when I go back overseas this is something the Polizei will send over to someone and it will get my PassPort flagged for whatever reason. And of course, if they are any where near as bureaucratic as the US, then there will be interest and penalties tacked on to where a 25 E fine piles to 10000 or some nonsense.

And yes they sent me a picture- it is CLEARLY me! {sm3} In the future, I would hope they would send me a better picture in exchange for my 25E

 

[jazzeum]

Probably a wise course since you're dealing with the EU.

 

[DMNamiot]

If they sent the pic pay the fine it’s worth doing since you would probably see a bigger issue via the car rental company when they come looking for more money. You can do it via a bank transfer as long as they gave you their account numbers. You slay me with your adventures!

Hey Chris, you are a real thrill seeker, few people in Australia would rent a Land Rover...they have a reputation for breaking down when you least expect it.

honestly...I would pay the fine...you might end up on a "no fly terrorist list" if you don't...

You should just tell them it's not you, it was Howie Long who was the driver...................:wink2:

A speeding ticket in Germany. Are you sure it wasn't for driving too slow :redface2:{sm3}

[Terp152]

I got a parking ticket in the mail in 1989, the month I rotated back from Germany to the US.

I'm still on the run. :redface2: Chris
